Chapter Ninety-Nine: AA People: The anti-aircraft artillery group is on full alert

The shelling was perfect, and it only took a minute to kill the devils on the high ground, and everyone present showed expressions of joy and shock.

For the current Eighth Route Army, the field artillery is still a little unfamiliar.

After all, in the past, the troops were mainly engaged in movement warfare, and even in the first two stages of the Hundred Regiment War, there was no scene of concentrated use of body cannons.

After the shock, Grand Master Li hurriedly raised the telescope on his chest. He looked at the high ground in the fire ahead, and the corners of his mouth were almost reaching the root of his ears.

"It has to be a French girl, in terms of lethality alone, the 82mm mortar has to stand aside, and the explosive power of ten salvos is really fierce."

"This movement, when I think that I will be richer in the future, our Lao Li can't believe it."

"It's a pity, I originally wanted to have a trick with the devil, but now I'm afraid I can't even find a hair. I haven't fought hand-to-hand combat for a long time, and my body and knife skills are a little rusty. ”

Li Yunlong's words sounded very Versailles, but fortunately, Ou Liang and Cheng Blind were in a good mood, so they didn't bother to complain about him.

Unlike others, Wang Chengzhu had mixed feelings in his heart at this time.

Depending on the location, the angle from which the problem is viewed is also different. The three regiment commanders were all infantry backgrounds, and they saw only exaggerated scenes in this shelling.

He became an artilleryman in his second month of enlistment, and he was extremely talented.

Coupled with the fact that you study hard during non-combat periods and constantly improve your combat skills, you can quickly get started when facing new weapons.

The emptiness just now is in the nature of men, and everyone likes more powerful weapons. But after calming down, a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously from the bottom of my heart.

Through systematic study, he knew very well that the artillery system of the New Second Regiment and even other fraternal units was incomplete, and there were still many things that needed to be improved.

Ten 75-mm field guns were only two and a half companies on the European battlefield.

However, there is a clear division of labor, including a company unit, a communications unit, an artillery unit, an ammunition unit, and a logistics unit. A hundred or so men waited on the four cannons, and the power of heavy weapons was brought to the extreme.

The new second regiment was far behind, and Wang Chengzhu had to come to observe the position, calculate the parameters, command the gunners, support logistics, and even drive.

In the shelling just now, no one in the entire company except him could handle the new weapon, and he had to check them one by one before firing.

"Hey, there's a long way to go, and our troops are still a lot behind."

Feelings of loss come and go quickly.

Although Zhu Zi is only an artillery company commander of a basic regiment, he has a high consciousness and strong willpower, and if there are shortcomings, he will continue to study.

He firmly believes that one day in the future, through his own efforts, he can change the status quo more or less.

Retracting his messy thoughts, he trotted to Li Yunlong's side.

The word steady has always flowed in the blood of this round-faced man, and now there seems to be no danger on the battlefield, but there is nothing wrong with transferring positions after shelling.

"Commander, let's go back first, it's not safe here."

After hearing this, Lao Li nodded, he patted the other party's shoulder and praised:

"You've done a good job this time, I'll see if I can get you an adjutant knife later. In the afternoon, I came to the Youth League headquarters, and I made a bottle of good wine from Vice Minister Huang last time. ”

What the two didn't know was that good habits saved the lives of these ten 75 ladies.

————

Ten minutes later, at an altitude of 57 kilometers from the logistics department.

The sixteen fighters that took off from Taiyuan Qinxian Airport moved towards the coordinates sent by Yamazaki in a neat four-plane formation, which was the crippled version of the 29th Independent Flying Team led by Asakawa Masatsu.

The First Army's army aviation was originally not fully staffed, and for a long time there were only 23 Type 97 fighters.

When this flying team was supporting Taro Katayama Province in Lion's Brain Mountain, they were knocked down by Li Yunlong with a Type 92 heavy machine gun.

At the beginning of the second phase of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the new Second Regiment attacked Taiyuan Airport at night, and after being shelled, it was faced with the embarrassing situation of having no planes to use.

Fortunately, Tada Jun had not given up on Yoshio Shinozuka, and before the official start of the sweep, a flying squadron was transferred from the North China Front Headquarters in North P to the First Army.

Coupled with the devil's miraculous repair skills, they demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall, and repaired four more frames.

Only then was the 29th Independent Flying Squadron formed by six Type 97 fighters and ten Type 97 light explosives.

In order to completely destroy the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army with a desperate future, Yoshio Shinozuka spent all his money at one time and let all the fighters set off to carry out combat missions.

In terms of numbers, the strength of the 29th Independent Flying Team has weakened. However, the army airline cannot only look at the number of aircraft, but also the type of aircraft.

Unlike the pitiful bomb load of the four 25-kilogram bombs of the Type 97 fighter, the 97 Light Explosion is a specialized bomber, and it can have a range of 1,700 kilometers with 400-kilogram bombs.

In terms of bombload, the 29th Independent Flying Team's ground attack power has been increased.

During the flight, Asakawa looked at the fighters of the surrounding team members, and he said in a solemn tone:

"Gentlemen, this time we are going to bomb the military factories and hospitals of the Eighth Route Army. In critical areas like this, there are generally some anti-aircraft weapons to a greater or lesser extent. ”

"Recently, a lot of French weapons have appeared in the enemy, and the General Staff boldly predicts that the opponent is likely to be armed with a certain number of Hatch Kais 13.2 mm anti-aircraft machine guns."

"We must be careful, and we must not underestimate the enemy."

This army aviation major first saw his wingman shot down, and then experienced the shelling of Taiyuan Airport by the New Second Regiment. He had already put away his contempt for the Eighth Route Army, and only had a belly of anger left.

"Hey!"

"We will definitely drop bombs on the heads of the enemy! Blow them to pieces! ”

"This time, we must destroy the enemy."

For what their immediate superiors said, the Army pilots were very face-saving.

What's more, a few of them have the same experience as Asakawa Masatake, and those colleagues who despise their opponents are now either lying in the hospital or have already seen the locusts.

As survivors of that attack, these devils were shelled at least a few hundred times, and even their precious cars were destroyed. They attacked with injuries this time, in addition to the tasks assigned by Yoshio Shinozuka, they wanted more revenge.

Another group of outsiders were also very obedient, and they put away their flying and domineering as soon as they arrived in Jin Province.

Although he was not severely beaten by the Eighth Route Army, he knew what to do when he saw the aborigines of the First Army Army and Aviation so miserable. Moreover, when he set out from North P, the original superiors also told him to face the enemy squarely.

Prudence and self-confidence are not contradictory, and those who can become pilots are elite.

All members of the 29th Independent Flying Team are convinced of one thing: they will complete their mission and return home safely.

For the next ten minutes, Asakawa was discussing tactics with his players. These devils have no radio silence at all, after all, the Eighth Route Army is not high-end enough to listen to the radio.

Soon, sixteen planes arrived close to their destination. These devils never imagined that their whereabouts had been exposed.

When constructing the air defense position, Deputy Regiment Commander Han considered it very comprehensively. I don't know from which direction the enemy will come from, but it's not wrong to set up a few more observation posts and cast more nets.

When the 29th Separate Flying Brigade appeared in the field of view of the observers, the fighters informed the positions in the rear by portable radio.

The moment the enemy plane entered the warning circle, Deputy Regiment Commander Han immediately shouted over the radio.

"Fire! The anti-aircraft artillery crew is on full alert! ”

The advantage of anti-aircraft artillery is concealment and firepower, and the advantage of aircraft is maneuverability. If the aircraft enters the effective range of the anti-aircraft artillery in a state of ignorance, then it will only be necessary to test the operational level of the anti-aircraft artillery.

After all, the initial velocity of the shell is not slow, and the pilot is likely to be shot down and injured before he even notices it.

After a period of training, the fighters have mastered the skills of using the ring sight.

Although this thing is essentially a mechanical sight, it does not have a fire control and guidance system, and can only be locked by the naked eye.

However, the fighters can use the speed circle to predict the flight speed of the enemy aircraft and hit the amount of advance. Moreover, the ring-shaped crosshair helps to track the trajectory of the target and quickly capture enemy aircraft.

When the communication system roared at the deputy commander of the Han regiment, the soldiers on the position immediately began to act!

The 150 Hatch Kaisi 25mm anti-aircraft guns, which had long been ready to fire, were in full swing, and traces of tracer bullets immediately appeared in the originally calm sky.

Like hidden vipers, they suddenly attack from the shadows and bite the devils in the sky.

As the saying goes, air defense and air defense are ten defenses and nine air.

In addition, the Hatch Kaisi 25mm anti-aircraft gun uses a fixed magazine of 15 rounds to feed ammunition, and the shooting must be stopped every time the magazine is changed, which greatly reduces the air defense efficiency.

Moreover, many fighters are dealing with devils' planes for the first time, and under the nervousness, the advance calculation method that was originally cooked in practice is now a little crotch-pulling.

But! All these problems do not affect the effect!

In today's 1940, the number of one hundred and fifty anti-aircraft guns is so great that the entire Republic of China cannot find a place with such a level of air defense.

Coupled with the fact that the actual rate of fire of the Hatch Kais anti-aircraft guns was also acceptable, the fighters could maintain it at 100-110 rounds per minute.

On average, an airplane faces more than 1,000 shells per minute, and even a blind cat can shoot down a few dead rats.

In just the first round of attacks, under the sneak attack of mental calculation or unintentional, five devil bombers were blown up in the air.

It's a pity that this cannon uses a bump fuse, which requires the warhead to hit the target directly, and it can only cause an explosion by impact.

If there is a proximity fuse or a time fuse, it can hit the effect of a black cloud. When the time comes, these grandsons can be scared to death, and even Bester has to run away on such occasions.

“!!!”

"Yaga!"

Asakawa was really bitter and couldn't say, they had already guessed that the enemy would have anti-aircraft weapons before the attack, and they had made adequate preparations.

At the current flight altitude, as long as it is not to bomb the southwestern capital, the whole country can be unimpeded.

The anti-aircraft weapons of the Eighth Route Army are indeed the products of the Hatch Kaiss Company.

But no one thought that it was not an anti-aircraft machine gun, but a fucking anti-aircraft gun! This thing is too familiar to them, "Ninety-six Type Twenty-five Jacking High Angle Machine Hammer", the army and navy have a lot of equipment.

After the introduction of the younger country, there were almost no major changes.

Only the casting process was changed, which made it easier to simplify the production of some parts manufactured by machining, the muzzle suppressor was replaced with the design of the German company Rheinmetall, and the style of the sight was changed.

Now this amount is really outrageous, and whoever comes with the dense tracer bullets has to be weak-minded, and Asakawa even has the feeling of leading the team to rush into the inner circle of the air defense of the combined fleet.

When did the Eighth Route Army engage in these weapons, and why didn't they use them before? Could it be that these anti-aircraft guns were given to themselves for the first time?

This Lu Hang Shaozuo kept scolding his mother in his heart, but the speed in his hand was not slow at all. He immediately rallied to the height, and loudly alerted the rest of the team that was still alive!

"Pull up! Elevating! ”

Under normal circumstances, aircraft generally do not use anti-aircraft artillery as an important combat target.

Unless he has lost his mind, or whoever fights with the anti-aircraft artillery will run away after the mission.

Aircraft often choose high-value targets when attacking ground targets, such as ground transportation hubs, command posts, artillery units, armored units, transport units, and so on.

If the opponent has a large number of anti-aircraft artillery, this is the time when flexible aircraft are needed to attack and harass the ground anti-aircraft artillery to create opportunities for the bombers behind.

Now Asakawa is facing this choice, and his gratitude for Yoshio Shinozuka's kindness and loyalty to the locust make him make a near-suicidal choice.

"Re-choose the angle to attack! Fighters come with me, our mission is to attract the attention of enemy anti-aircraft artillery! Create breakable holes for bombers! ”

"Samurai! The time has come to dedicate oneself to one's brother's country! It's dark and it's dark! Onboard! ”

In the case of camouflaged fortifications, even if the anti-aircraft guns fire, as long as the artillery flames and gunpowder smoke are not obvious, the pilot will not be able to tell where the gun position is.

After hearing the order, the six Type 97 fighters immediately adjusted their direction and rushed towards the densest number of anti-aircraft artillery positions with their own Zhongzuo.

Time: October 1940, location: southeast of Shanxi.

Right now! It's a duel between anti-aircraft artillery and fighter jets!

Although not 37 guns, but we are more numerous! There is no need to set fire to the cornfield to attract enemies, the devils will run to their own deaths.

Facing the fighters that rushed up, Deputy Regiment Commander Han showed a sarcastic expression. Although he had never flown an airplane, it was not the first time he had used anti-aircraft artillery to face off against an airplane.

The position he arranged had fortifications, and the small 7.7 mm water pipe of the Type 97 fighter was difficult to cause damage unless it was a direct hit.

Anti-aircraft guns hit fighters, because the line of sight is almost the same, so it is only necessary to keep firing at one point.

When the fighter dives, the anti-aircraft gun looks at the fighter like this:

——

(o)-——

Fighters look at anti-aircraft guns like this:

《*》

Not to mention the fact that because of the aerodynamic shape of the fighter, the line of sight will definitely change when diving. This meant that Asakawa had to fine-tune the angle of the machine gun according to the speed when firing.

Everyone is aiming at the machine, I don't need to adjust the shelling parameters, and you have to fine-tune the fuselage all the time, so I don't need to say much about who is stressed in this situation.

The anti-aircraft gunners just need to overcome their fear and keep firing, and let God do the rest.

The final result was no accident, and Asakawa watched his teammates being blown up one after another in the air, and his whole body was red-eyed.

During the dive, he constantly maneuvered to avoid the anti-aircraft artillery. From time to time, small water pipes were used to strafe positions, but the effect was always limited, and even the purpose of attracting fire was not achieved.

At a position of 300 meters above the ground, a 25×153mm shell hit the nose.

The Type 97 fighter without armor protection turned into sparks directly in the air, and Deputy Regiment Commander Han achieved a one-stop service for Asakawa Zhengtuan.

As for those who were given high hopes for the 97 light explosion, they also finished off, and they miscalculated the data of anti-aircraft fire.

After seeing such a dense firepower network, the devils immediately decided that these anti-aircraft guns should be twin or triple, and they didn't think about the possibility of a single one at all.

The serial version has a slightly slower spin speed, and they want to use this to evade shells and increase the probability of success.

These little days subconsciously believe that the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft artillery is the same as the 96 divine artillery, and the effective range is 3,000 meters. So he tried to get stuck in the range and start diving, increasing the efficiency of the attack.

But Hatch Chase is a Gallic chicken, and even anti-aircraft guns can take drugs.

The huge charge and 60 times the diameter of the body barrel make a 25mm small-caliber gun reach a maximum range of 8,000 meters, and an effective range of 3,500 meters.

This is not the first time that empiricism has suffered losses, and when these devils were ready to continue attacking, they unexpectedly found that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army could still hit them.

Originally, the purpose of the air defense positions was mainly to drive away enemy planes and interfere with enemy planes in dropping bombs through intensive firepower. As long as the aircraft wastes the scarce bombs, it can be regarded as the purpose of air defense.

After all, all kinds of shells are coming, and the pilot is under a lot of pressure to face a barrage, and the slightest carelessness will destroy the plane and kill people.

But because the devil died himself, only two of the last five bombers successfully dropped bombs at a distance of 700 meters.

Due to a bad mentality, an unstable flight posture, and an insufficient diving angle, these bombs did not hurt the logistics department at all. In the end, only one plane escaped the battlefield and flew to Taiyuan alone.

——————

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army.

A staff officer ran into the combat conference room sweating profusely, and he reported to Yoshio Shinozuka in fear: "General, our plane is back. ”

"The result?"

"The exact outcome of the battle is unknown, but..."

The staff officer hesitated: "The airport reported that only one fighter plane had returned. ”

"Nani?"

"What happened?"

Seeing that the staff officer couldn't answer the question, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately went to the airport.

At this time, the logistics department also knew about the ambush of the devil's plane, not that someone deliberately informed it, but mainly because the sound of the air-ground duel was too loud.

As long as it is a telescope, they have seen the devil planes shot down one after another.

Now everyone is cheering, celebrating the feat of the anti-aircraft artillery unit. Since entering the war, everyone has been bombed by devil planes.

This time, he killed so many, and it was shot down from the sky, which made everyone raise their eyebrows fiercely and vent their depression in their hearts.

Sneak attack knocked out five fights

The devil himself sent six, and he died stupidly to five of them, not too much
